Increased consumer awareness regarding the health benefits of organic food, including organic poultry, is a significant driver propelling the organic poultry market in a positive direction. Organic poultry is known for being rich in vitamins and omega-3 fatty acids, offering high nutritional value. This heightened consumer awareness of the health advantages associated with organic food, including organic poultry, contributes to an increased demand for such products. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), organic broiler sales in the USA exceeded $749 million, with organic turkey sales reaching $83 million. Additionally, more than 19.5 million organic broilers and 15.7 million organic layers were raised in the USA. The growing consumer awareness of organic food creates potential for driving the growth of the organic poultry market.
The growth of restaurants and food service establishments is expected to further fuel the expansion of the organic poultry market. Restaurants, as a specific category within food service establishments, provide sit-down dining experiences with diverse menus of prepared dishes. The increased demand for organic poultry from restaurants may incentivize poultry suppliers and farmers to boost production, potentially leading to lower prices and greater accessibility for a broader consumer base. For instance, as of July 2023, The Chef's Store, a U.S.-based restaurant equipment and supplies company, reported that there were 49,365 Mexican restaurant establishments in the U.S. in 2021, reflecting a 2.4% increase from 2022. Consequently, the rising number of restaurants and food service establishments acts as a driving force for the organic poultry market

This premium product features chickens raised on 100% organic cereals in free-range conditions, free from pesticides, antibiotics, or synthetic additives. With a minimum slaughter age of 81 days, this initiative emphasizes quality and sustainability, catering to the increasing consumer demand for responsibly sourced organic food in Romania.
